ABO blood group is the example of

A good example of multiple allelism  is different types of red blood cells that determine ABO blood grouping in human beings. ABO blood groups are controlled by the gene I. The gene (I) has three alleles I^A, I^B and i. The alleles I^A and I^B produce a slightly different form of the sugar while allele i does not produce any sugar. Because humans are diploid organisms, each person possesses any two of the three I gene alleles. I^A and I^B are completely dominant over i, in other words when I^A and i are present only I^A expresses (because i does not produce any sugar), and when I^B and i are present I^B expresses. But when I^A and I^B are present together they both express their own types of sugars: this is because of co-dominance.
